Why convert PNG to AVIF?

AVIF is the largest single size win available for PNG assets — commonly 70–90% smaller on photographic content — and it keeps the full alpha channel, so it is a drop-in replacement rather than a compromise. The cost is CPU: AVIF is an AV1 still frame, so encoding takes real work where PNG takes almost none. You pay that once and every visitor saves the download.

Conversion happens entirely in your browser — no upload, no queue, no watermark. Drop in as many files as you like and download them individually or as a zip.

Frequently asked questions

Does AVIF keep PNG transparency?

Yes. AVIF carries a full alpha channel, so transparent PNGs convert with no visual change and no background flattening — and the transparent version is still far smaller than the PNG. This is the main reason AVIF, rather than JPG, is the format to move PNG assets to.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Conversion happens inside your browser using the canvas API and a Web Worker — files never leave your device. There is no upload step, no queue and no file size limit beyond your machine's memory.

Is EXIF metadata kept in the converted image?

No — and that's a feature. Re-encoding through the canvas strips all metadata: GPS location, camera model, timestamps and color profiles. The output contains pixels only, which is usually what you want before sharing an image publicly.

Can I convert many images at once?

Yes. Drop or paste any number of files; each is converted in the background with its own progress and download button, and you can grab everything at once as a .zip archive.

Why did my image get re-compressed even converting PNG to PNG?

The converter always decodes to raw pixels and re-encodes, which is also how metadata gets stripped. For lossless targets (PNG, and GIF within its 256-color limit) the pixels stay identical; for JPEG and WebP the quality slider controls the trade-off.
